Judges' comments:
Very clean background; nice diagonal lines; looks like a catalog image
Maker's notes:

This image was shot in my basement. The biggest challenge was lighting. I used to umbrella modifiers with Canon Speed lights about 4 foot from the drum. They were 4 ft. above the drums angled down. The back drop was lit by two 250W equivalent LED floods and a speed light behind the largest drum. To get depth of field the aperture was set at f/14 with ISO 500. Output of speedlight was adjusted so I could shoot at 1/125 sec. Lens set at 25mm.
